    Soon we won't be able to wear shoes because they might wear out the damn sidewalk.

  5. Banning paper bags is complete nonsense.

    Pretty soon they will be banning toothbrushes because they are plastic. I guess we will have to grow our fingernails long and use them to brush out teeth. :wtf:

    They're just trying to reduce the birth rate. Go figure. One would think they need new New Jerseyans to pay for all the taxes.

    You shouldn’t be out shopping anyway, spreading disease. Shelter in place, rely on the State for all your needs, comply, obey..... now drink your Kool-aid. Oops I mean take get your Covid shot.

    There's a few issues...

    Its destroying the environment, it consumes too much energy to produce or both.

    Most consumers that are into recycle typically only look at what it does to the environment. Rarely do they look at what (e.g. energy, water) that it took to create the item.

    Paper bags consumes more non-renewable energy than plastic or any other product and sometimes 3 - 5x more if there are colour (logos, instructions) on the bag.

    The other day I went for a very long hiking and jogging in the forest...I was shocked to find disposable face masks along a 5 mile trail.

    How hard is it for someone to put it in their pocket ?

    People just do not care nor understand the dangers to the environment nor do they understand / underestimate the dangers to wildlife.
